This community event gathered all relevant players in the field of Research Data Management in Belgium.

During the morning session, insights were provided on data management plans and compliance to GDPR. Celia van Gelder introduced not only the FAIR Data Steward profession but also provided links to existing initiatives and courses on data management. After lunch, the FAIRDOM data management platform was introduced by Katy Wolstencroft, Flora D’Anna illustrated the platform further with a reproducibility use case. More practical examples of FAIRification of research data were provided by collaborators from INBO, VIB and VLIZ. Photo's (via ELIXIR Belgium's Flickr page).
